Description
Captured as is on one of my early morning walks this spring in the formal gardens of Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I discovered this Great Horned Owl and her baby. The tree is a least 75 feet high...the mother is facing the camera. Nesting season is in January or February when the males and females hoot to each other. When close they bow to each other, with drooped wings. Mutual bill rubbing and preening also occurs. They do not build a nest of their own but utilize the nests of other birds such as the hawk, crow and heron. Normally, two to four eggs are laid and incubated by the female only for 26-35 days. The great horned owl has a large geographic range. It is found throughout the forests of North, Central, and South America, from the Arctic regions in the North to the Straits of Magellan in the South.
